Hi, just so you're informed, if a blocked user uses his talk page for further attacks during the block duration, it can be locked until the block expires, which is a fairly standard practice. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 13:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Soviet invasion POVed?
Dear Grafikm, if you agree with Irpen that this article is POVed, perhaps you can explain in detail what is POVed? Irpen, unfortunatly, although arguing for months about POV in this article, still failed to present any sources or details about the POV (other than the general 'Polish propaganda' line). Since in the past you've helped us resolve such issues, perhaps you could do so here?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 15:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the speedy deletion tag from the above article. While it is similar to the previously deleted article, it is substantially expanded and is not an exact repost. Additionally, the previous AfD was a pretty close call. You may want to list it at AfD again, to see if a clearer consensus can be found. Thanks for your time and your hard work reporting these articles - even though I'm not deleting this particular one, your efforts are very much appreciated. Kafziel Talk 17:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Britannica 1911
In the hope of convincing you that Britannica 1911 edition might not be the best source for Wikipedia, let me cite a few sentences from its article about Ivan the Terrible. ([1])
... His father died when he was three, his mother when he was only seven, and he grew up in a brutal and degrading environment where he learnt to hold human life and human dignity in contempt ... Hitherto, by his own showing, the private life of the young tsar had been unspeakably abominable ... By this time, Ivan had entered upon the second and evil portion of his reign ... But admiration of his talents must not blind us to his moral worthlessness, nor is it right to cast the blame for his excesses on the brutal and vicious society in which he lived .
Q.E.D., I hope. Balcer 20:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure?
Are you sure that every Ukrainian that prefer not to be called "Little Russian" is Ukrainian naionalist? [2]--AndriyK 17:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I'm sure. Whether you like it or not, it is a historical term, to be used as such. And repainting a nation's history to suit the rulers is one of elements of nationalism. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 17:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Let's put historical term aside. I mean present-day usage. A you sure that every modern-day Ukranian (not a nationalist) would be happy to be called "Little Russian"? Did you try? ;) --AndriyK 17:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- It is not about happiness or something. Unless such a term is explicitely recognized as derogatory by an official body (in which case I would like to see some sources), your arguments are nothing but allegations. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 19:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

- Did some official body recognize the historical term "Moskal" as derogatory?
- If not, would not you object if I make a small correction to the article Anti-Russian sentiment: I replace the phrase "The usage of therm Moskal in Ukraine in the modern context is an ethnic slur" by "The usage of therm Moskal in Ukraine in the modern context is considered by Russian nationalists as an ethnic slur"? It seems you should not object, unless you are going to established different rules for using ethnic slurs in Wikipedia with respect to Russians and Ukrainians. ;) --AndriyK 19:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Meltyukhov
Because your are new to the discussion, let me give you a quick recap.
We have Meltyukhov's book: Soviet-Polish Wars. It received 2 crushing reviews. Review one states[8]:
Russian historians were unable to take a united stand against those who claim that "nothing wrong happened at Katyn". Some historical publications have appeared in this context, such as a book by Mikhail Meltyukov called Soviet-Polish Wars: Military and Political Confrontation in 1918-1939. This historian believes that the Soviet-Polish military confrontation between the two World Wars was a natural sequel to the struggle the Russian and the Polish states have waged for ages - "the fight for political influence over the region". Meltyukhov sees this situation in its historical context, the post-Versailles world, where he believes that Soviet Russia was acting correctly by standing up for its geopolitical interests in the region. This point of view can be used to justify the execution of the Polish officers in 1940.
Of course, such new publications may be explained by the pluralism of a democratic society. But can this point of view be correct if it is so close to Stalinist and neoimperial concepts?
Review 2 states [9]:
"It would be possible to indicate various examples of more subtle apologias for the Empire, linked with the rejection of all arguments for its victims or critics. Examples which dress themselves in the trappings of the most academic monograph. [...] A more brutal example of the same tendency is expressed in the book by the professional historian from Moscow, Mikhail Meltyukhov, dedicated to the Polish-Soviet conflicts of the twentieth century. These conflicts are, for him, fragments of eternal Western aggression against Russia. When Russia (in this case, Soviet Russia) comes into conflict it is only to take what is rightfully hers. Stalin appears as a genial successor to Catherine II. The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and the involvement of the USSR in the attack on Poland in September 1939 are presented as purely defensive postures, underlining the primacy of Russian raison d’etat. This posture represented not only Stalin’s profound realism but also historical justice and even – argues Meltyukhov – humanitarianism. In this context the mass deportations of more than half a million people from the territory occupied by the Red Army in September 1939 to camps in the depths of the Soviet Union is presented as a “peacekeeping mission” which prevented the murder of those Poles deported to Siberia by protecting them from the Ukrainians panting with thirst for revenge...".
Now surely you agree that these two reviews are a cause for concern, and requests for positive reviews which verify the reliability of that book are quite reasonable. If, despite repeated requests, such reviews are not presented, what should be the next step? If the above reviews are correct, do you really believe that a book as problematic as this should be used as a reference in Wikipedia? Balcer 16:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC) for its geopolitical interests in the region. This point of view can be used to justify the execution of the Polish officers in 1940.
Of course, such new publications may be explained by the pluralism of a democratic society. But can this point of view be correct if it is so close to Stalinist and neoimperial concepts?

- I see nothing "crushing" in those reviews. They're quite biaised actually. I mean come on, what do you think about sentence like "where he believes that Soviet Russia was acting correctly by standing up for its geopolitical interests in the region". Since when is it incorrect for a country to defend its own interests? We're swimming in BS up our necks here.
- On top of that, we have once more a double standard. We have refs to Viktor Suvorov all over the place, yet we have a dozen crushing reviews and most "classical" historians opposed his research. Why don't we have everybody whining on Talk:Viktor Suvorov. Oh right, he's got the correct POV, telling that Stalin was an idiot... I see.
- Either we remove him too (and I wouldn't mind) but in this case please quiet down your Polish troll friends beforehand because I can see the revert wars coming from ten miles, or we can use both authors regardless of the few reviews. In the present case, what you suggest is (once more) a double standard, depending on whether the author suits (Rezun) or not (Meltyukhov) your POV. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 22:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I am all for removing references to Viktor Suvorov, if he is used as a source anywhere. Please point me to articles where that occurs and I will get right on it (excepting articles about him or about his books, of course).
- As for the reviews being biased or not, this is not for you or me to decide. These are serious academics writing those words, and their views count for much more than the opinion of any Wikipedian. If you want to counter their arguments, present positive reviews of the book. Balcer 22:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- And who would those 'Polish troll friends' of Balcer be, if I may ask? Really, Grafikm, I never thought I'd see you using such unfriendly language.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 05:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, see the post by the anon below, a wonderful example... :) -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 14:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Grafik obviously isnt willing to conform to western civilized standards and is digging his own grave on the English Wikipedia, all barnstars from his "Russian troll friends" aside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.5.235.100 (talk • contribs)
- And you, obviously, don't have the balls to sign your posts. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 14:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- A nasty post, indeed. The IP address is for Neostrada Plus in Poland, so this is indeed a troll from Poland. The address to report incorrect behavior is given as: [email protected]. Feel free to report this idiot. Balcer 15:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- And you, obviously, don't have the balls to sign your posts. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 14:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Election message
When you get the chance, could you please send out the following:
- The Military history WikiProject coordinator selection process is starting. We are looking to elect nine coordinators to serve for the next six months; if you are interested in running, please sign up here by August 14!
I would, incidentally, encourage you to run yourself if you have a bit of free time. :-) Kirill 03:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Just to let you know, since it seems that you're not really editing these days, we've gone ahead with an alternative distribution method this time around so as not to bother you with this. Kirill 02:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, no problem! It's good to hear that you were on vacation; I was afraid that you had burned out and weren't coming back at all! :-)
- We're going to be sending a second election message when the voting starts on August 15; are you going to be available for that, or should we do it via other means? Kirill 13:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I saw that your bot delivers the newsletter for the Military History WikiProject Newsletter and I was wondering if it is not too much of a problem you could have it deliver the salem witch trials newsletter(which is currently underdevelopment) and help me set up the page so members get it. But if it is any trouble please do not worry about it. Thank You Yamaka122 ...:) 14:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Could I ask one last thing, could you put together a brief summary of how to go about the process of using AWB (which I know some thing of) for newsletter delivery. This might enable the delivery to be picked up by someone else. Maybe even manage it myself with your help. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:B52.plan.clear.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

The big news of course was the seventh project coordinator election covering the period ending 30 September. The quality of the candidates was extremely high, with some of the project's top content builders running alongside highly experienced backroom people. Of the eighteen candidates, sixteen were finally appointed, giving us probably the most rounded coordination team so far. Those elected were: Abraham, B.S., Bellhalla, Cam, Eurocopter, EyeSerene, Ian Rose, Jackyd101, Joe N, Lordoliver, Maralia, MBK004, Nick-D, Roger Davies (lead), Skinny87, The ed17 and TomStar81. Kirill Lokshin continues in his role as coordinator emeritus. Thanks must go to the departing coordinators – Bedford, JonCatalán and Woody – for helping make the project what it is today The C-class referendum, held at the same time, produced a slight majority of votes for introduction, but was insufficient to demonstrate a clear consensus. So, for the time being at least, therefore, the project will continue without C-class. Otherwise, focus is likely be on the Academy and the development of courses to develop reviewing, copy-editing and article-building skills. Some review of our task forces is also probable, perhaps consolidating some of the smaller, quieter, ones. As ever, input from everyone is not only welcomed but positively encouraged.
The coordinators' gratitude goes not only to those who participated in the election and referenda but also to everyone who works quietly and conscientiously away to make participation in this project rewarding, successful and productive. Milhist is very fortunate in its membership! Thank you all, Roger Davies talk 16:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC) |

Once again, this month, we have a bumper crop of featured and A-class content, and our heartfelt thanks go to editors who have worked so hard to write these. But with our growth in quality content comes increased demand for reviewers. Which is where you can help. Reviewing is easy and rewarding. You don't need any prior experience and you don't need to write a full review. Any input is helpful so you initially can just comment on what you're comfortable with. Most reviewers start off by focusing one or two things – say, the historical context, or the text, or the references, or the layout, or the images – and as they gain experience, they broaden the scope of the review. You can easily keep up to date with which articles need review, by copying this text – {{WPMILHIST Review alerts}} – to your userpage or talkpage. Thanks in anticipation, Roger Davies |

Welcome to a new occasional feature of The Bugle, where over coming issues we'll be exploring some of the roles, tasks, and technical functions that go into creating what archivist and researcher Simon Fowler has described as the best general resource for military history on the internet.† As a project we can rightly be proud of that accolade, and we gratefully acknowledge the debt we owe to those dedicated editors from across Wikipedia that have helped to make the Military history WikiProject what it is today. Many editors' first inkling of milhist's existence is when they spot our project banner on an article talk page. The banner can be easily added to appropriate articles by any editor, by typing {{WPMILHIST}} at (or near) the top of the talk page on a new line, and saving the page with an appropriate edit summary. This short form of the template will add the article to our project, and also flag the article as needing assessment and assignment to a task force by automatically adding it to the unassessed articles and articles with no associated task force categories. As with many templates in use on Wikipedia, additional parameters can be specified. Possibly the most useful to include is the class parameter, because this will help out any editors who come along later to assess the article. To add the class parameter, edit the template markup to look like {{WPMILHIST|class=}}... and if you wish, have a read through the assessment guidance on milhists's B-class checklist .
Finally, when adding the milhist banner it's useful to assign the article to one (or more) of our task forces . This will help to bring it to the attention of those editors most likely to be interested in, and knowledgeable about, the subject. As with assessment, task force assignment is accomplished by adding a parameter to the template—in this case, simply the name of the task force followed by =yes (or =y). For example, to assign a Start-Class article to the Second World War and Canadian task forces, the template should read {{WPMILHIST|class=start|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=|WWII=yes|Canadian=yes}}.
For a full list of all the banner template parameters and more detailed usage instructions, see †Simon Fowler, Guide to Military History on the Internet, UK:Pen & Sword 2007, | |||

Perhaps the most important—and, indeed, most respected—aspect of the Military History project is our rigorous A-Class Review (ACR) system, which puts articles through the most robust review outside of WP:FAC . Although reviewing might seem daunting to newcomers, this article will give you an outline of three popular reviewing methods so you can actually start contributing yourself.
